The wftk is a relatively complete initial
implementation of a workflow engine. It is
implemented as a library to allow workflow
functionality to be embedded in arbitrary
applications. Data and activities are represented
internally as XML structures, and all interfaces to
external systems are organized into adapters to
allow fairly easy interaction with any pre-existing
software environment. The wftk compiles in both
Unix and Win32 environments. Example adaptors
already implemented are ODBC and Oracle under
Windows, and MySQL for both Unix and Windows.
There is an SMTP adaptor for Win32 and Unix,
used for outgoing notifications. Storage of data is in
local file directories or in databases.
